This is supposed to be the NFL wagering online season that San Francisco finally wins the NFC West. You may remember the 49ers dominated this division in the past with quarterbacks like Joe Montana and Steve Young. The last decade though the 49ers have struggled and amazing as this sounds to gamblers making an NFL bet, the 49ers have not won the NFC West the last ten years while the other four teams, the Rams, Seahawks and Cardinals have.
San Francisco opens up the 2010 season on the road at Seattle and the 49ers are 3-point road favorites at Sbg global.com with the total at 37. The winner of this game will get a leg up in the NFC West so it is a very important opener. The Seahawks have a new head coach in Pete Carroll but whether they have enough to get past San Francisco is in question.
Hasselbeck vs. Smith – The quarterback matchup in this game is definitely not one to get excited about. Matt Hasselbeck used to be a very good quarterback but that was many years ago. Alex Smith has never been a good quarterback. Both teams believe that this is the year that their quarterbacks have good seasons, but we’ll see.
